When saying: "the 68060 CPU's are very expensive, and not as fast as other architectures"
I should add: "as long as no 68k code compatibility is needed." Of course, if there is need to execute 68k binaries, the 68060 is the fastest solution. But outside the old homecomputer scenes I have not yet spotted strong need for 68k assembly code. "Embedded" applications are often written in highlevel languages these days, so they would rather use Hitachi or ARM or MIPS or DSPs or the likes, rather than 68k, for new designs. QDOS/SMS as a strongly assembler-based OS will always need 68k code, though. (Hi Phoebus ;-)) All the best for the next year! Peter
